阅读理解。     Joan worked in a hospital as a nurse. One evening there was a big dance at the hospital. Most of the
doctors and nurses would be there, but it was Joan"s turn to look after the sick children. She liked dancing
very much, so she felt very sorry for herself.
     She went to each sick child one after another and said good-night, until she came to one little boy,
Dickey. He was eleven years old, but he was already able to talk like an adult ( 成人). Poor Dickey had
a very serious illness, and now he was hardly able to move any part of his body except his hands. Joan
knew he would never get any better, but he was always happy and always thinking about other people
instead of about himself.
     Dickey knew that Joan loved dancing, so now when she came to say good-night to him, he greeted
her with the words, "I" m very sorry that you have to miss the dance because of us. But we are going to
have a party for you. If you look in my drawer (抽屉), you " Il find a piece of cake. I saved it from my

uneasily. Finally    1   that I was there, Rocky turned toward me with a sad smile.
     "I"m    2   tomorrow," he said.
     "I know." My    3   was almost a whisper (低声). I was    4   at myself for being so weak,but I
wasn"t about
to cry.
     "My    5   is early, so there is still    6   time to come to the airport," he said. Seeing the    7   look on
my face, he quickly added, "I promise (答应) I won"t leave without saying goodbye."
     I tried to say    8   , but didn"t. It"s always    9   to keep quiet if you"re about to cry. "You promised
you wouldn"t cry," he said to me, thinking that I was close to    10   .
     I remember the day he taught me how to ride a bike.    11   I thought he was always right behind me,
holding the seat to keep me from     12   . I was happy with this,but he knew he couldn"t hold me up all
my life.He told me that one day he would have to let go.
     His coughing stopped my thinking. What was left to say? How could I say    13   to the person who
taught me everything?
     The next morning I    14   , looked at my alarm clock,and realized he had left    15   ago. We never
even said goodbye.
     Goodbye, Rocky! Although he may have been many miles away, I knew he heard me, even if it was
only an answer in his heart.
